If they could let you create real polls to vote, it would be nice too.

Right now I think you can only react with a thumb up or a thub down.

Because the Xbox isn’t selling and all Xbox games are also on PC.

Yeah some competition would be great.

I guess their competition ain’t Xbox anymore, but PC gaming.

Depending on what Sony does, they could make the jump to PC.

I wouldn’t need so much to jump to Linux gaming to be honest.

Yeah I don’t think it’ll happen soon.

Everything is getting more expensive and it’s the first time ever I’ve seen a price bump for a console released a few years ago.

If only the GAFAMS could stop getting money from taxpayers! It would be a big start and then it would just be the individuals who would decide to support by buying their products or not.

I also have an old shitty computer from Acer with 4gb of RAM lying around.

I feel a bit guilty about not using it, but I’m already sharing my time between my Surface Go 1 (daily driver) and my girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro, so I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

If anyone has an idea, I’m listening 👂

I hope one day we’ll find a way to get banking apps working through Waydroid or something else. And by we, I mean people who are way more techy than me😅

I feel like it’s the only thing which would prevent a lot of people from using Linux every day on their phones.

Wouldn’t you just be able to create a folder for Xdrive (imaginary alternative to Google drive) in the Virtual Machine and another one in the host.

Since they are both synchronized with Xdrive they would have the same content.

Well then I guess Apple Silicon Macs might be on my list when I’ll need something to replace my Surface Go 1 if one day it dies or if Fedora becomes more resource hungry in the future.

Interesting to know, thanks.

I don’t remember if you can replace the battery though. That would also be big bet getting on of these used M Macs if that’s not the case…

Yeah but since they aren’t upgradeable anymore, you’re often kind of limited by the 8gb of RAM they often come with.

It’s also difficult to know how much life an SSD still has in it even if one day I could be tempted by a second hand M Mac and Fedora Asahi…

You have a lot of incredible Macs waiting to be grabbed for cheap after Apple discontinued support.

Before converting my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro to Linux, I never thought it would be possible. I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s just a shame the latest ones aren’t upgradeable. Apparently the last easily upgradeable one was the 2012 MacBook and the 2019 MacPro…not sure though…

Well judging from what you see on Lemmy a lot of people would be willing to pay. What’s missing on Peertube is the ability for a creator to lock his videos behind a paywall in a « you wanna watch? Pay me » way.

Nick from the Linux Experiment was explaining that he was making something like 0.02 Euros per view on Youtube and that people supporting him directly were bringing so much more without being at the mercy of an algorithm.

Supporting him for 1 Euro a month is fine with the amount of what I’m watching from him on Peertube, paying 5 dollars a month to watch everything Linus Tech Tips produces on Floatplane is a bit too much for me…

Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.

I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.

For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives…

After looking a bit into Patreon, Peertube, Floatplane, Nebula, Rumble, Odysee and Dailymotion, I find it crazy that even when you’re willing to pay, all the good content is the one that you can watch for free on YouTube (with a few exceptions of course).

Yeah but using a YouTube client would feel a bit dishonest to me as you’re still using Youtube in the end😇

I’ll look more into Patreon as I didn’t know you could have videos directly on it.

I’m just using it to listen to the Linuux Experiment podcast.

Well I clearly know that wired is way more reliable and efficient for a lot of things. I’d never charge my phone without a wire for instance.

Still I’m happy to have wifi at home or wireless controllers for my Playstation 5.

Depending on how your home is set up, it can be awful to have cables everywhere.

I guess I’ll go with a second hand wired mouse but I don’t like that I’m giving up on bluetooth on Linux. It feels like something which should be a given.

The same Microsoft Mobile Mouse works perfectly with my MacBook Pro 2012 with Fedora on it…

What I find crazy is that on Playstation you got Gran Turismo in 2022 I think and there’ll be no other concurrent until Asseto Corsa Evo in probably 2026.

I’ve already so many hours of going around the Ring in GT7, but I’d really h’love an extension with a new career mode and new trophies until Asseto Corsa Evo.

Oh great to know. Another reason for me never to get a PSVR2 on top of my fear of isolating myself into games while my kids are playing around.
